Jordan Taylor, Antonio Garcia Win Lightning-Shortened Northeast Grand Prix
LAKEVILLE, Conn. – Corvette Racing’s Jordan Taylor and Antonio Garcia led every lap Saturday afternoon (July 17) to win the Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park. The race, originally scheduled for 160 minutes, was shortened to just 88 minutes due to lightning strikes in the vicinity.
“It was odd. We kind of knew what was going to happen going into it,” Taylor said in the Media Center after the race. “We knew it was going to be a race of tire degradation and strategy, whether it be a two-stop or three-stop race just looking at the history of the race. 20 laps in, we knew it was going to be a three-stop race doing 45-lap stints.

During our trip to Palm Beach, Florida, to drive the all-new BMW M3 and M4, we had the chance to ride along with BMW pro driver Bill Auberlen. Considering Auberlen is the highly successful racing driver, we let him take the wheel and Horatiu rode shotgun.
The car Auberlen drives in this video is a BMW M4 in its base spec. So it’s a rear-wheel drive, manual M4 the proper setup for an M car and it also has the very vibrant Yas Marina Blue interior with yellow accents. It’s the most hilarious and awesome interior BMW has offered in ages and I love that it exists.
